Project Timelines
I not only feel uncomfortable with them, I generally ignore or forget timelines. Under spousal pressure I once threatened a "strike". On our first house, in the Spring-time, a friend asked the probable length of prep and painting the exterior: I guesstimated a month might do the trick.The following Summer I got the first coat on. The expression "Painting is all in the prep" applies triple here. One side of the (1910) home had dry rot and the other wet rot. Not only did lower siding have to be replaced, but wood further in as well. Various species of animals ensconced within delayed matters, but I will devote several future posts to experiences with fauna in great detail. Finally, the folks who built the home thought newspaper was insulation and this further impeded my progress. I had to break in order to read any news I found that was of interest.
